On behalf of the Traylor family (Howard, Barbara, Carmen, Ana, Selina, Jessa, etc) please accept our deepest condolences.   I met Wendy during one of the many times my family went to Tai San for dinner.   During one of those dinners, I asked Wendy if she was interested in applying to work as a Recreation Activity Leader at James Kenney Recreation Center, where I was the Center's director.  Despite not have any experience leading large groups of children, Wendy was courageous and willing to learn all of the tricks of the trade.   It was clear that her soft-spoken, caring ways, sharp intelligence and creative mind made her much admired by the kids she led.   Like so many, my heart broke when I heard the news of her passing.  I'll always consider Wendy among the most decent human beings I've ever met.  

I will always remember Wendy as a brave and loving person.  

Brave in a way that few of us are.  Doesn't matter how tough things get, doesn't matter how much her body aches, she always puts on a smile, for herself and for others around her.  Life has dealt her a few tough hands, and she has been knocked down a few times, but she always gets up and fight for what she wants.  When she found Cole, the love of her life, my whole family was so happy for her.  More than anything, I admired Wendy's courage and her resilience.  She is physically one of the smallest person I know, but she is one of the most courageous and toughest person I have ever met in life.  

Wendy is also a loving person with a big heart.  Whenever my parents, or in-laws visit, Wendy talked to them patiently.   And she spends a lot of time playing with my two daughters.  Every year around my kids' birthdays, she always brings gifts for them; even when she is not well, she still has Cole brought gifts over. 

I have been thinking about Wendy a lot lately; both my wife and I miss her dearly.  When I think of her, a few memories pop up:

When Wendy was staying with us, she usually have dinner with us.  I do a lot of the cooking.  Wendy hates cilantro, but I love cilantros.  She keeps telling me it's okay to put cilantro in the dishes and she just won't eat the cilantro.  Once I put cilantro in the soup, she tried the soup and almost threw up.  Three of us had a good laugh.  As usual, Wendy always puts other people's interest ahead of her own. 

Wendy also loves Chinese soap operas.  When she was cooking, she would have the TV on and multi-task.  Let's just say Wendy is not very good at multi-tasking. 

I will always remember Wendy as a life loving, family loving, friends loving, forgiving, kind and smiling person. 

Rest in peace,  Wendy, we love you and we miss you very much.
